Musically Declined: NASCAR Goes Country, I Can Help


Stock Car Racing and Country Music—two pillars of culture in the Southern United States.  And the two have mingled throughout the years.  So put on your racing shoes, make sure they match your cowboy hat, and settle in for a look back at some of Nascar’s biggest stars turned Nashville wannabes!


The Song: I Can Help by Billy Swan


The Star: Darrell Waltrip 


The Clip: 



The Review: About as close as we can get to a pop song here.  And DW, well, its a good thing that he had racing to fall back on.  I mean, hearing his voice here you’d never believe that he’d become a beloved broadcaster in the 00’s.  Although as long as this drones on you’ll easily believe that he’d become a disliked broadcaster in the 10’s.


The Verdict: Jaws could’ve used some singing lessons, music training, and possibly a brand new voice.  Otherwise, he’s fine.
